Gardaí have made 34 arrests and have branded the violence as ‘gratuitous thuggery’ after public transport was attacked, Garda vehicles damaged, and some businesses looted on Thursday night.

The violent scenes followed a stabbing incident outside a school on Parnell Square yesterday afternoon. A five-year-old girl, along with two other children and a woman in her 30s, were injured in the attack, which sparked a night of rioting.

The suspect, a man in his late 40s, was arrested at the scene and taken to the hospital.
